SUMMARY:
Join the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association to discuss climate change impacts on Maine’s fishing communities beyond lobster. Local fishermen and scientists will talk about the environmental and human factors impacting some of Maine’s iconic species like shrimp and cod.

This event will engage the audience with two short films showing the direct impacts fishermen and fishing communities are feeling from the changes happening in the Gulf of Maine. Following, scientists and local fishermen will share what they are seeing and how the industry can move forward to adapt and strengthen for generations. Finishing with a forward-focused discussion, the panel will answer audience questions.

All attendees with on-line reservations will receive 10% off MCFA’s “Almighty Cod” T-shirts by Loyal Citizen – to be purchased at event only.
